just a random question, didn't Gojira say they were going on haitus?!? whatever happened to this?!? Because I just read last night they are in the studio. Which is good news for me means another headlining tour. I'm with wine, i'm a huge prog head, although I enjoy Intronaut and Torche over Mastodon.

They wear their prog influences on their sleeves, if you ask me. I'll gladly fund the shit of an organization that is Sea Shepard for some new Gojira material.
Good news, everyone; after being forced to cancel one show and skip another (possibly more?) — at which Baroness’ two guitarists filled in – hospitalized Mastodon guitarist and mustache king Bill Kelliher is back performing with the band on their current U.S. tour with Baroness, Between the Buried and Me and Valient Thorr. Reader Brett S. reported that Kelliher performed with the band Tuesday night in Tucson (though his pot-addled brain couldn’t remember Bill’s name) while uber longtime caller Ryd1ZZ reported the same in San Diego last night. So all appears to be well with Bill… or, at least he’s well enough to perform. Though my ultimate dream of watching guitarists from Baroness, Between the Buried and Me and Valient Thorr fill in for a full set of Mastodon tunes will not come to fruition, I think we can all agree that this is great news.
No official word has been released yet as to why Kelliher was hospitalized in the first place. I’ve heard rumors including conditions as severe as pancreatitis and diabetes, and of course there’s always the old “partied to hard” speculation, but the latter seems unlikely to cause a three-day hospital visit. Whatever the case, if Bill wanted to the world to know, we’d know; so I guess we gotta respect his privacy. Glad to have you healthy and back, Bill.

I just got back from the show tonight, and it's not looking good for Brent. He was fall down drunk the whole show, and they ended up cutting the set short. I've seen Mastodon plenty of times before, and he's never been this bad. I have a feeling he could be on his way out.

The guys in Mastodon are more Acid-addled though.

And i'm sorry to hear that, wine. I'm still pissed that I missed the show.
